Pros:

The hotel was very clean and in a perfect location. The staff was all very friendly and helpful we asked to change room from the top floor to lower and it was no trouble.

Cons:

The bed was a little uncomfy but had worse.

Excellent service, feels safe with a member of staff in reception at all times to deal with issues
Pros:

Centrally located making it easy to reach all restaurants bars and shops on the strip, but also close enough to walk to the old road and the beach. The pool is a nice pool with graduated entrance which is useful for children or those with minor mobility issues. The rooms are excellent, spacious with plenty of utensils etc, safe and air con and the shower is big by most greek standards.

Cons:

The only thing I didn't like was having a room at the back facing the car park, not in itself an issue but it was too hot to use in the afternoon/evening which is when I would be most likely to use it.

Pros:

Liked the location and the bar/restaurant. Rooms where larger than we expected. Staff were lovely and helpful.

Cons:

Pool area needs updating, but saying that we spent most of our days using other hotels pools which is why we love Greece.

Pros:

Fantastyczna lokalizacja przy głównej ulicy w Kalamaki. Dużo sklepów, restauracji, blisko do plaży. W hotelu wygodne łóżka, dobrze wyposażony aneks kuchenny, super basen. Dla dzieci brodzik o głębokości 45cm ze zjeżdżalnią. Polecam ten hotel z całego serca.

Amazing stay
Pros:

The location of the hotel is great—close to the beach with many shops and restaurants nearby. It's also in a great position to visit other places on the island. The hotel is very nice, and the room was a good size for a family of three (two adults and one toddler). The room was spotless, and the staff was nice and friendly and it was very quiet place, so we managed to get a good rest.

Cons:

The kitchen could be a bit better equipped. There is no dish soap or sponge, and the kettle is a serious hazard—the handle gets extremely hot when the water boils, and I actually burned myself the first time I used it.

Repetiría
Pros:

El personal muy bien , sobre todo el camarero super simpático y amable . La piscina genial y la habitación muy bien también . Camas cómodas, balconcito , buena ducha ( aunque el agua es salada) y un detalle que me gustó mucho es que tienes una sombrilla para poder llevártela a la playa . Se tarda unos veinte minutos andando . La calle del hotel está llena de restaurantes . También se aparca fácil y eso que era finales de agosto .

Cons:

El comportamiento de algunos clientes , armando follón de madrugada , volviendo de fiesta.

We love Zante, kalamaki is a great location for families and this was our first stay at the Vanessa hotel - they made us
Pros:

Excellent location, friendly hotel and bar staff, nice pool, nice food

Cons:

Can get noisy due to location being in middle of Main Street but didn’t affect us - good for most people I would say

Overall very good, clean and good facilities lovely balcony
Pros:

The location and pool are excellent

Cons:

The bed was very hard but that could just be my preference and it could get noisy at night you could here upstairs scraping chairs on the floor when moved. A mattress topper and pads on the bottom of furniture would solve both of these.
